Hard to be influenced by ads if one avoids them in the first place. I do a fairly good job at limiting my exposure to advertisements. Some are unavoidable, like outdoor advertisement, or going to a website with ads, but simply tuning out broadcast TV and radio, free streaming services and cable, with a few exceptions of course, eliminates a lot of wasted time on ads. I do pay money though to keep them away on some services. When someone brings up a funny ad that they saw on TV, I often have no clue what they're talking about, and that's great. My adversion to advertisement has been around since at least the early 2000s. I believe it was triggered when I sat down and watched the Weird Al movie "UHF" on Comedy Central and it took 4 hours to the end because of all the ads.
